Team overview
Joburg Super Kings at a glance
Joburg Super Kings are Johannesburg's men's franchise in SA20. The team was founded for the competition's 2023 launch and sits within the Super Kings franchise group, but its SA20 results are kept separate from Chennai Super Kings and Texas Super Kings.
JSK reached the playoffs in each of the first four SA20 seasons. Their best league-stage finish was second in 2023; across all league and playoff matches from 2023 through Season 4, they played 45, won 18, lost 21 and had six no-results, without yet reaching a final.
Season 4 ended in the Eliminator. JSK placed fourth in the league table at 4–4 with two no-results, 22 points and NRR +0.045, then lost to Paarl Royals by 36 runs. James Vince led their runs with 263, while Wiaan Mulder and Richard Gleeson shared the wicket lead with nine each.
Fourth in the league; Eliminator finish
JSK finished fourth after ten league fixtures: four wins, four losses, two no-results, 22 points and NRR +0.045. The Eliminator defeat made the complete Season 4 record 11 matches, four wins, five losses and two no-results.
